Indeed, I'd love to have my collection fully in colour. I agree entirely that the black and white episodes were the strongest in terms of storylines, writing, acting and direction. I'd rather have all colour rather than a hotchpotch mix.

Like most people, I too wish those episodes had been recorded in colour, inasmuch as they are some of the strongest in the entire series. However, my mind quickly becomes accustomed to the monochrome presentation, and I soon forget that there was a compromise
involved. Perhaps someone, someday, will take it upon themselves to colourise these episodes, now that the technology is available. The purists will object, of course, but other folks will welcome the "improvement" with open arms.</div>

<div>Sadly, not Doris I have the DVD sets two different versions and the colour and black and white mix is all I have seen available. Are you Snowdonia like me Doris. If always suffered but it's got very bad, Get I can sleep in the day burnt at night even with
a prescribed sleeping pill. Strange though, I enjoy the solitude in these early hours. It's quiet everyone similarly asleep. It's chaos in the day as I love in a block of flats on a busy estate. Cars and too many people. This country seems so crowded even
outlying villages that were surrogate now thoroughfares and white scary places. I take solace in my nocturnal dads and reading when I can.
